Abstract
Antibacterial activity of Chenopodium botrys L. and Chenopodium album L. against growth promoting Rhizobacteria
Highlights
Introduction presence of root exudates and rhizodeposits, The rhizosphere is the thin layer of soil that the soil environment adjacent to the root surrounds the root system [1]
Chenopodium album L. is a rich source of minerals, antioxidants, and vital dietary ingredients, according to studies conducted around the world [15, 16]
The bacterial strains (Pantoea agglomerans and Acinetobacter baumannii) isolated from rhizosphere were obtained from the Department of Botany, Islamia College Peshawar, Pakistan
Summary
Introduction presence of root exudates and rhizodeposits, The rhizosphere is the thin layer of soil that the soil environment adjacent to the root surrounds the root system [1]. The dried fractions (crude extract, n-hexane, chloroform, and aqueous) were weighed and dissolved in sterile water, to prepare appropriate dilution to get the required concentration of about 100μg/ml, 300μg/ml, and 500μg/ml. Results Different diameters of zone inhibition were seen against Pantoea agglomerans and Acinetobacter baumannii at concentrations of 100, 300, and 500g/ml of the fractions (crude extract, n-hexane, chloroform, and aqueous). The antibacterial activity of the medicinal plants Chenopodium botrys and Chenopodium album L. was tested using three fractions (n-hexane, chloroform, and aqueous) and crude extract.
